On streets not far from our doorsteps, the world is controlled by gangsters, pimps, beggars and thieves. Corruption is the currency of survival, desperation is its engine. Infamous street criminal and womanizer Macheath, a.k.a. Mack the Knife, draws heavily on favours from fraudulent officials at the highest levels to escape execution. In saving himself, he leaves behind him the wreckage of broken hearts and destroyed lives.
Sexy, witty and painfully real, The Threepenny Opera shines the harsh light of truth on our comfortable world. Weill and Brecht's magnetic and crystalline depiction of the urban underbelly is a work of sly humour, high theatricality and evocative music.
